Trumpet Within: Fiery Charge

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the rider within you, the fierce will that proclaims itself sovereign. This line does not celebrate recklessness; it exposes a state of consciousness that trusts in its own furious momentum rather than in the inner trumpet of truth. The ground-swallowing charge is the ego’s claim to mastery, the sense that 'I am the doer' and thus immune to the clarion call of awareness. In Neville's terms, the trumpet is the conscience of the I AM in you, the reminder that every thought and impulse travels through the same inner air and can be redirected by a shift in assumption. When you believe you are separate from God, the trumpet's sound seems distant or unreal, and you refuse to listen. But the I AM is always sounding within—alarm, invitation, correction, promise. Therefore, the remedy is not to dull the trumpet with discipline, but to revise the state of consciousness: assume that the trumpet is real, it is already sounding, and your next action is governed by that awareness. As you acknowledge this inner call, the charge slows, and your path aligns with truth and promise within.
